teaching. Whether addressing a class about the
effects of health disparities on minority populations,
discussing the impact of mold exposure in homes
fl ooded by Hurricane Katrina, or connecting statistical
evidence to the creation of public health policy,
the School's faculty strives to inspire students so
that they too become agents of positive change.
